Helinox Eureka chair one vs. Thermarest Compack chair

I bought the Helinox chair one after our trip to Venice in 2013 because a chair was probably the thing I missed most. I then bought the Thermarest Compack chair because Ria also needs one 🙂

The Helinox plus points:

super quality

light (<1,00 kg)

unbelievably comfortable

seat height is good

The Helinox minus points

bulky compared to the Thermarest

The Thermarest plus points

super compact

very light (<200g)

surprisingly comfortable

The Thermarest minus points

you sit on the floor

We haven’t actually used either of them yet so I can’t give a winner today. The both have advantages and disadvantages, weight is always a concern but I want a comfortable chair and the Helinox is more comfortable.
